by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. We’ve assembled this report on Eastern Washington University veterans and their studies to help you in your research.

What’s Covered in Our Report on EWU:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 731 GI Bill® students at EWU. Given that enrollment at the school is 6,517, nearly 11.2% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. Veterans make up 0.3% of those enrolled at EWU, per U.S. Department of Education data.
